Chapter 138: Fairy Tale Forest (Eighty-Four) The line between life and death
Before I could dwell on the Queen, there was a sound of metal scraping overhead, and I looked up slightly to see that it was the King who was choosing a knife, which was used for needless to say - to gouge out my heart!
The metal clashing made a chilling sound, swept in with a cold, raging killing intent. I can even hear my own heartbeat, bang! Bang bang! It's like an animal in a cage, jumping and struggling frantically after realizing the killing intent, but there is nowhere to escape!
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my knife is fast, it only takes a second, it will be very fast, and it will be able to dig out your heart"
The man's voice was low with irrepressible excitement, followed by a deep pressure that gripped my nerves. Nervousness and fear filled every cell of me, it was almost a dead end, and I was already in a dead end!
My body was trembling, my heart was pounding, and I struggled to keep myself from panicking, staring at the man getting closer and closer. Probably because I was wounded, he thought I was already a lamb to the slaughter. I don't want to sit back and die, the worst outcome is death, even if there is only a glimmer of life, I have to try my best.
Fear didn't need me to pretend at all, and the fear that came from the bottom of my heart was fully revealed. I tried my best to relax my body and not let my attempts be discovered, and now all my companions were either isolated or bound, and there should be four people who could move in this secret room now, and I could only survive on these four people!
The king and queen don't need to go into details, and my injuries are so serious that even after resting for a while, I am afraid that I can only attack once, which means that if I fail to strike a single blow, then I will definitely die! But now I am unarmed, and although I have a weapon above my head, I don't even have the strength to get up, and I can't hold any of them. In this way, my glimmer of life can only be in the fourth person - the mermaid.
The merfolk are imprisoned in the pool and can't leave, but I should be able to get her help as long as I can bring the fight into the water. I had a rough estimate of the distance from the pool, and if I pounced with all my might, I should have a chance to push the king into the pool. However, my position is really awkward, the pool is in front of my right, and the queen is standing on my left, even if I can push the king into the pool, I am afraid that the queen will kill me directly, and my strength is not enough for me to make a second move.
The king was getting closer and closer to me, and I didn't have time to think about it anymore, and this plan seemed to be the only choice I could make, even if it was a one-death plan.
As if enjoying my fears, the king did not pounce directly, but approached me slowly with a mad smile. I didn't dare to move, so I could only stare at his every movement with my eyes wide open. No, I only have one chance to get closer, and if I don't succeed in pushing him away and falling into the pool, I'm afraid I'll be dead.
Now I'm a desperate gambler and I'm betting my life.
One and a half meters, forty centimeters, thirty and twenty is now!
I kept watching the past, and just as the knife in his hand was only ten centimeters from my chest, I saw his shoulders and muscles in his arms move suddenly, pushing with all my strength towards his throat!
The throat is a very fragile point in life, and I used all my strength in the moment of life and death, the king seemed to think that I had been frightened and gave up resisting, but this sudden force made him completely defenseless, and the whole person was pushed backwards by me and fell to the ground, and because of the slippery ground slid forward, until he slid to the edge of the pool.
At the same time, a figure suddenly rushed from behind me, I only saw a black shadow coming from the top of my head, I had exhausted all my strength, I didn't have the strength to raise my hand at all, the only thing I could do was to subconsciously turn my head slightly, breathe a little and prepare for death.
"No!"
However, to my surprise, what I was waiting for was not a fatal attack but a shout, and the figure in front of me was not the queen who I thought of attacking me, but a person I had given up on before - wolf fangs.
It's him! He's coming!
At the same time as I saw the wolf's fangs, I also felt another figure rushing towards the blood pool from my side, and after seeing the wolf's teeth confirm that I was temporarily safe, I subconsciously pursued the figure and looked at the blood pool, but I saw a hand pinching the king's head! Blood and shards of the head exploded at the edge of the pool, spreading across the water.
As I expected, with the merfolk's resentment towards the king, she would not hesitate to kill him in such a situation.
"No, no, no, it's not true, no, no"
The queen knelt on the edge of the pool and hugged the king's corpse, her voice of pain and crying, and she didn't care about us and the merfolk beside her, her husband's death seemed to make her close to collapse.
"How are you?" As if to make sure there was no danger, Wolf Fang just glanced at her and came over to pick me up as I lay on the ground.
When I heard the wolf's words, I felt a pain in my chest, and after he helped me up, I realized that the clothes on the right side of my chest had been soaked with blood. It was a little too late to push the king away, and his knife had just pierced me in the chest, only luckily to the right side, not the heart.
If you think about it, it seems that the king aimed at the right side of my chest before, why?
"Hey!? Are you okay? Is there any damage to the heart? I heard my father say that you are a witch, and you shouldn't have put your staff outside for them to see, and if they hadn't recognized you as a witch, they wouldn't have thought that your heart was on the right side! Talking? Are you okay!? ”
The ghost who had just fallen silent said to me again, and I was slightly stunned when I heard his words, and then I realized the meaning of his words Because of the staff, the king thinks I am a witch, and the witches here seem to be different from normal people, their hearts grow on the right side instead of the left, so I was only stabbed by a knife on the right side instead of the heart.
This reminds me of the scene when I killed the witch, the wolf fangs began to pierce the left side of her heart, but they didn't kill her, I guess it was because her heart was also on the right side, right? At that time, Wolf Fang almost lost a life because the witch's heart was on the right side, and now, I have a life recovered because of this incident
I raised my hand to cover the position of the knife, the knife was very sharp, not very deep, and there was no major problem at this time except for the pain. Wolf Fang didn't say anything, just hugged me directly with a heavy face, thinking about Lin Ya's position and walking.
I just leaned against the wolf's fangs and gasped, the ghost still whispering in my ears, but I didn't have the strength to answer his words now. I looked uncomfortably in the direction of the pool of blood, but found that the past death seemed to be a very great blow to the queen, and from my position I could only see her holding the back of the corpse. What struck me as strange was that the mermaid did not attack the queen, but just stood at a distance from the queen and the king's corpse.
The mermaid only hated the king and not the queen, which seemed to be different from what I had imagined.
After the wolf fang carried me to Lin Ya's side, he carefully lowered me against the wall, and then first cut the rope on Yu Pu's body and dragged him to my side.
I glanced up at Yu Pu, but I didn't say anything. Although a psychiatrist is also a doctor, I am afraid that he is powerless with my current injuries. One is suspected to be a fractured shoulder bone, and the other is probably injured to the lungs, what can he do about such an injury?
Yu Pu didn't say anything, but just examined my two wounds, so that his face was expressionless, so that I couldn't tell whether I was happy or worried.
"It's okay, the shoulder bone should just be a bone crack, the problem is not big, the chest injury is more serious, but fortunately, the knife that caused this wound is very sharp, although the wound is deep enough to hurt the lungs, but because the knife is sharp and neat, it is not serious, there is the effect of strengthening the recovery ability here, don't tear open the wound with strenuous exercise, there should be no danger."
"It's okay, you're okay." The wolf fang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally frowning brows opened slightly, and he even showed a smile.
Looking at Yu Pu's calm face, my panicked heart calmed down a lot, saying that I was not afraid that it was nonsense, who would want to die if I could live.
"Excuse me, did you find the key?"
The mermaid's voice sounded, and after knowing that I was okay, I was concerned about the current situation again, and turned my head to look in the direction of the blood pool, only to find that the queen was still motionless and holding her past body like a sculpture, and the mermaid was looking at us.
"That's her voice! I can hear it! That's her voice! As the mermaid's voice sounded, the ghost suddenly became excited, "Is she here!" I know she's here! How is she!? Please tell me how she is! ”
I still ignored the ghost's words, just watched the merfolk quietly. I've found the key she wants, it's in my pocket, but I can't make a decision on whether to give her the key or not.
I've now been able to determine that what the merfolk said to me and the Wolf Fang wasn't entirely true, and that part of it was wrong for me to be right, and partly because the ghost's words were very different from what the merfolk said. I don't know who to believe, maybe both of them or neither.
On the other hand, my eyes turned to the back of the back. If you want to determine what the truth was back then, I'm afraid you can only ask the other party, right? And all the signs and clues before tell me that I am afraid that I will be in the future
There's a huge secret - she's not as simple as I thought!
